I know this is absolutely insane to say when we're talking about books that are 1,000 pages long, but book 6 is where the series really becomes levels up into something incredible. I enjoyed it a lot before then, but if you can get that far, it's just amazing.
Conversely, that's about where The Slog begins. All the Tower/Salidar ark feels like social studies in hell. Well, to me, at least.
For me, Dumai's Wells is like a mile-high rollercoaster hill. I just coast right through the slog.
That's the desert island in an ocean of MEH for me. Things are pretty boring from then until the battle of Malden, imo.
Hold on. I'm going to reread the series so I can better refute this.

And he was never heard from again because of The Slog.
